This John is sometimes identified - including by BP1934 (Dalhousie) and BE1883 (Ramsay of Haddington and Holderness) - as the John Ramsay who was created Viscount Haddington and Earl of Holdernesse. However, TSP (Ramsay, Viscount of Haddington) specifically contradicts sources who claim this John to have been that John and reports the Viscount/Earl's ancestry differently (see 'Ramsay03').
